BAINDROPS
Endless little drops of rain Sliding down the windowpane; Endless other little drops Tumbling on the mountain tops. Scuttling down the grassy hill, Joining friends to make a rill, Taking partners till they seem Strong enough to make a stream. Babbling loud through woods and
meads, Babbling loud to stones and reeds, Scuttling on and resting never Till at last they reach the river. Moving onward day and night Till at last the sea’s in sight. What a journey that must be That starts in sky and ends in sea! Sent by Anne Masters, (age 9).
